Hands Are Os Most Importance In Hula i Hula Is Based On Religious Ritual By GAY PAULEY UPI Women’s Editor HONOLULU (UPI) - Anyone Can learn the hula. That’s what dancing teacher Lila Guerrero •aid before I became her pupil. After a couple of hours instructing a girl who has trouble even with the fox trot, she conceded that the hula and I were permanently out of step. “Maybe,” she said, “the best hula dancers do train right from childhood.” Miss Guerrero, who has been dancing the hula since she was five, gives lessons to Hawaiian children and on occasiion teaches its swing and sway to curious tourists like me. I took my lessons in private — if Im going to make a fool of myself, I don’t want an audience. Watch The Hands Mastering the hula's basic step isn’t too hard. It’s a one, two, three and tap with the ball of the foot, called the "kii wa wae” in Hawaiian, meaning feet in motion. “Watch your hands,” said Miss Guerrero, early in the course. “Let others watch the hips.” In the true hula,, the motions of the hands are most important; the hands tell the story. The feet ar.d hips just keep the rhythm. 1 watched my hands and immediately ran into trouble with my bare feet (the hula always is danced barefoot.) Mostly tripping over them, because the hula means movement of all parts of the body. I had to remember that

the knees should be bent slightly, my wrists relaxed, my hips doing the “ami’ (rotating), and my elbows in toward the body and not jutting into the air like Diamond Head into the Pacific. No Dorothy Lamour Miss Guerrero patiently steered my awkward way through the intricacies of the kick step, or “uwehi"; the turn step, “kalakaua”; and tried to show how motion of the hands and arms symbolized the rolling sea, the arc of the rainbow, or the gathering of flowers. She lost me in the hands-mak-ing-raindrops department; in this motion, the fingers, stretched above the head, perform a shimmy. And, I failed the "around the island” movement completely. This sets the whole body rotating, and I just ain’t a Dorothy Lamour. Miss Guerrero, 35, a native of Honolulu, is married to Frank Reiplinger, a Chicagoan working as a clerk at the shipping terminals. They have two children, a girl of 7, and a boy of 8. both “already accomplished hula dancers,” their mother said. Miss Guerrero has been a featured dancer in several mainland night spots and in addition to teaching, also performs at ship welcoming parties. She explained that to most tourists, the hula is nothing more than a sexy dance. But actually it is based on ancient religious ritual. Once Bitten . . GRAND FORKS. N.

Water Lost WASHINGTON (UPI) — The Geological Survey estimates ..that enough water is lost every year by evaporation in the 17 western states to supply all the towns and cities of the country. The survey said more than 21 million acre-feet of water evaporates annually from fresh-water streams, lakes, canals, ponds, and reservoirs in the west.

Argue Over Causes Os Mental Diseases I Peacemaker Enters Scientific Arena By DELOS SMITH UPI Science Editor NEW YORK (UPI)-A peacemaker has entered the scientific areena where “organicists” and “psycho-dynamicists" do wordy battle over the largely unknown causes of mental diseases, Saying (in effect): You’re both right—as far as you g<x Get your ideas together and you’ll both be entirely right. “Organicists” argue all mental diseases have to be caused by disturbances in the chemistry or structure (or both) of the organ of the mind which is the brain. “Psycho-dynamicists” argue the mind stores conflicts and undigested fears and frustrations and these influence its workings and collide in such ways as to cause mental dieases. If either could prove his case, there would be no argument, naturally. Dr. Otto F. Ehrentheil, the would-be peacemaker, offered this argument: Disturbances in brain chemistry and-or structure make insanity possible. The stored conflicts and undigested fears and frustrations determine the direction and the manifestiations of the insanity. He reasoned there could be no active mental disease such as schizophrenia, without both processes working. Major Category This should be accepted by both sides, he continued, “even in cases where it is impossible to demonstrate a structural and-or chemical disturbance. These cases make up the majority of patients in mental hospitals. Indeed, after-death examinations of the brains of extremely insane persons consistently fail to reveal any physical disturbance. “Psy-cho-dynamicists” point to this as a strong indication (if not proof) that they’re right “Organicists” say it only shows science has a lot to learn about the brain. Ehrentheil said no one should disagree with this: “Thinking, listening. seeing, talking, feeling are all biological processes taking place in the brain.” And there can be no “biological process” without changes in body chemistry and in “electricity and in structure of cells and tissues.” There is a difference, to be sure, between an arm paralyzed because of a nerve injury and an arm paralyzed because the mind of its owner is gripped by hysteria. But the hysteria has brought about the physical disturbances of structure and-or chemistry which paralyze the arm. Example Cited To illustrate, he cited a patient of his who was in his late 50s before he broke down with mental disease. This man had sufHearing Expert Returns to Decatur SONOTONE’S HEARING EXPERT, Mr. J. M.

sered all his life from a congenital under-development which prevented him from glorying in the mere status of bSfflg male. But he lived a normal life until hardening of the arteries of the brain brought about marked disturbances in its chemistry and structure. Ehrentheil said that if this physical change had been the only factor, the man would probably have deteriorated into a “vegetable.” which can happen in persons with hardened brain arteries. But this man had hallucinations — he was utterly detached from reality. The significant thing was the direction of the hallucinations. He believed that Superman came for him every night and together they soared over the earth.

First Indiana Art For Religion Show Over 250 Hoosier Artists In Exhibit INDIANAPOLIS (UP!) — A modest effort by an Indianapolis minister to put art and religion into the same arena has invoked a surprising response. More than 250 entries for the first exhibit of Indiana Art for Religion have been received from Hoosier artists. The event opens Nov. 8 for 17 days in the parish hall off Bethlehem Lutheran Church, Indianapolis. Artists of all faiths have entered paintings, water colors, prints, pastels, drawings, culpture, stained glass, enamels, and work, in other media. The pastor the Rev. Donald E. Elder, who Initiated the exhibit in the belief the church has lost effective contact with the contemporary artist, gained wide support from other churchmen in addition to artists in the project. The Rev. Malcolm Boyd, onetime Hollywood and New York advertising and public relations executive Who now is an Episcopal priest, will speak at a preview Nov. 8 on “The Bridge Between Theology and the Arts.’’ The Rev. Boyd, rector of St. George’s Episcopal Church in Indianapolis, was associated with Mary Pickford and Buddy Rogers and produced movies, radio and television shows before becoming a priest three years ago. Dr. John F. Hayward, a University of Chicago professor, and Ralston C. Thompson, chairman ot the Wittenberg College fine arts department, agreed to serve as jurors for the show. Dr. Alfred Edyvean, head of speech, radio, television and drama at the Christian Theological Seminary, formerly Butler University School of Religion, will speak at one of the workshops to be held in connection with the exhibit. Artists from 34 Indiana cities are represented in the exhibit.

Indianapolis has the largest number, followed by Notre Dame and Richmond. Other cities with one or more entries are: Anderson, Arcadia, Bicknell, Chesterton, Cicero, Darlington, Delphi, East Chicago, Fort Wayne, Goshen, Greencastle, Kendallville, Kokomo, Lafayette, Logansport, Martinsville, Michigan .City, Muncie, Nashville, Noblesville, Plainfield, Reelsville, Russiaville, Shelbyville, Sheridan, Spencer, Swayzee, Terre Haute, Valparaiso, Warsaw and Whiteland. Host Os Forecasts On State Election Close Senatorial Battle Predicted By EUGENE J. CADOU United Press ‘lnternational INDIANAPOLIS (UPD — October’s bright blue weather has brought forth a host of predicitions about the outcome of the election Nov. 4. One of the leading candidates on the Republican state ticket said however, that the senatorial race is too close to forecast. But he did give the following estimate of the results in the 61 congressional races. First, Democratic by 22,000 votes; second, Republican by 10,000; Third, Democratic by 8.000; Fourth, Republican by 7,000; Fifth, Republican by 5,000; Sixth, Republican by 5,000; Seventh, Republican by 10,000; Eighth. Democratic by 10,000; Ninth. Republican by 6,000; Tenth. Republican by 6,000; Tenth, Republican by 13,000, and Eleventh, Democratic by 4,000. If this crystal ball gazing is accurate, Republican Reps. F. Jay Nimtz, South Bend, and Charles B. Brownson, Indianapolis, would lose their seats. Another GOP bigwig agrees with this lineup but would add to the defeated Republicans Rep. John V. Beamer, Wabash. 1 Governor Handley has predicted

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 30, 1958

he will win over Evansville Mayor Vance Hartke “by more than 45,000 votes.” But GOP state chairman Robert W. Matthews is not quite as optimistic, saying Handley will prevail “by at least 45,000 votes.” The most responsible chiefs estimate the vote total Nov. 4 at from 1.500,000 to 1.600,000. If the Democrats win next week, it will be a terrific vote' upset. Just two years ago, President Eisenhower received a majority of 398,903 votes in Indiana over Adlai E. Stevenson. Handley downed Terre Haute Mayor Ralph Tucker by 227,475 tallies and Sen. Homer E. prevailed over former Secretary of Agriculture Claude Wickard by 212,481 • votes.
